That's always what it has been. But second best is to fail in such a
way that the breakage doesn't propagate. That's when you need to
understand the packaging infrastructure.

I'm thinking of libapache-mod-* here. If I deliberately defeat
apacheconfig, it's my fault if libapache-mod-python does something
wacky in the old, wrong config.

For infrastructure, of course you can. Lots of projects do. And at
one point or another you've described every user-visible Debian
infrastructure tool as something between "junk" and "evil", at least
with respect to maintenance of the tool itself. Isn't there something
wrong with that picture?

Even if they're really worse. :-)
